Chapter 7
The Past Is The Past
"Have you ever had the feeling that the past might come back to haunt you?"
The next day, Michelangelo and Mika woke up, finding themselves beside each other.
Michelangelo groaned.
"What the hell happened?"He asked. "I-I have no idea."Mika stuttered, blushing a little, remembering about their time together yesterday. What a good day. The weather was really bright yesterday, no sadness nor pain nor those voices nor tears; just joy and happiness all around.
"Now that we know each other, it's best to tell each other about our past, Monsieur Michelangelo."Mika said with a giggle.
"But first, we'll have to find a new spot. I have a feeling that a police inspector might find us asleep under the bridge one day."Michelangelo said. Mika giggled. "Fine...let's go."
Soon, they packed their bags. Michelangelo transformed into human, wore an orange shirt and jeans with orange shoes and left the bridge, hoping to find a new one.
As they entered Laird Street, Mika stared at the mansion. Her home...where her sisters hurt her everyday. Right now, her sisters are sun bathing near the pool.
"Hey Cleo, where Mika?"Danielle asked, taking a sip of her orange smoothie.
"No idea. She was gone for a few days."Cleopatra said.
"I'm starting to worry about Mikayla. Our poor baby, what if she's dead?"Danielle asked, worried.
"Eh, don't worry about it. She's fine."Rafaela said. Then, they shrugged it off and continued sun bathing.
Tears formed on Mikayla's face.
Then, her butler, Savanti Romeroon, spotted Mika.
"Madame Mika!"Savanti exclaimed, holding her hand.
"No!"Mika exclaimed, releasing her hand and running to Michelangelo.
Savanti just shrugged and ran to the mansion.
"Who was that?"Michelangelo asked.
"My house."Mika said.
Michelangelo found himself, surprised.
"That's your house! Awesome, dudette!"Michelangelo exclaimed.
"Why, where's your house?"Mika asked. Michelangelo gulped.
"In the sewers."He responded.
"Then let's sneak!"Mika exclaimed.
"Mika, I think this is"
Too late. Mika grabbed Michelangelo's hand and rushed down to the sewers.
"This is yours? Wow. And where the hell are your stupid brothers?"Mika asked. "Over there."Michelangelo said, pointing at the three brothers, happily doing their own stuff.
"Idiots."Mika mumbled.
Then, Robyn barked.
"Robyn!"Michelangelo exclaimed. Then, he covered his mouth.
April noticed two humans and a dog. April suddenly recognized the boy.
"OMG, April?"Mika asked.
"You know her?"Michelangelo asked.
"Yeah...we've been friends since summer camp and we're the same age."Mika said.
"Oh."was Michelangel's response.
"Mikey?"April asked.
"Ninja vanish!"Michelangelo whispered loudly, using the smoke bomb to disappear.
April looked around.
No humans.
"Mikey...?"
"That was close."Michelangelo said, panting with Mika.
"Yeah. Both of us were almost caught."Mika said, starting to walk again with Robyn.
"Yeah."Michelangelo said.
They knew that they already walked out of New York and went to the forest (the one in the 2003 version where Casey's grandma's house stands).
Michelangelo and Mika finally found shelter; a few meters from a farm-house, they found a house that looked like it got abandoned years ago. The whole day, they cleaned the house and found it comfortable. It looked like a small mansion with an abandoned red sports car, there's a cage where Robyn can stay, the living room and the rest of the rooms looked really comfortable to live in. There was even empty crops and a seed cabinet so Mika can plant vegetables and fruits to eat.
While they ate dinner in a nipa hut, a bit near to their mansion, they can hear the cicadas crying.
"The cicadas are chirping really loudly, ain't?"Mika asked, slurping her cabbage soup.
"Yeah."Michelangelo responded, taking another bite of a banana.
There was a few moments of silence.
Then, Mika broke the atmosphere.
"How about we swap each other one story from our childhood?"Mika asked.
"I think it's finally time."Michelangelo said.
Mika agreed to go first.
"It was the first day of elementary..."
Six-year old Cleopatra, Rafaela, Danielle and Mikayla walked towards their classroom.
"I hope first grade will be the best!"Cleopatra exclaimed.
"I hope its wicked!"Rafaela exclaimed in glee.
"I hope I'll be the smartest kid in the elementary!"Danielle exclaimed.
"In your dreams, Dani!"Rafaela exclaimed.
"Rafa!"Danielle winced.
Mikayla just looked out the window, only wishing that the school year will be the best with three, big sisters around. Mika started sharping her pencil until the teacher came.
"Good morning, Ms. Maple!"The children exclaimed.
"Be seated."Ms. Maple said.
Mika just looked at her sisters, smiling at the teacher. Still, she wondered why all her sisters and herself get the first row, if she wanted to sit with her best friend, April O'Neil, who sat behind Timothy who was Mika's back.
...
After class, it was lunch time. While Mika was eating alone, she noticed her enemy, Jewel, staring at her.
"What do you want, Jewel?"Mika asked, a bit stubborn.
Then, Jewel threw her lunch at Mika. Then, Jewel pushed her and kicked her in the stomach. The 12-year old girl laughed at six-year old Mika.
Then, her sisters came, defending Mika.
"Stop, Jewel! You're making our sister cry!"Cleopatra exclaimed.
"Little sh**!"Jewel exclaimed, kicking Mika's stomach. This made Mika cry more.
"Jewel Anasans, principal's office, now!"Ms. Maple exclaimed. Jewel just mumbled while going to the office.
"You...saved me."Mika said.
"Promise, Mika. We'll protect you, no matter what."Rafaela promised.
Then, Mika smiled.
A few tears slipped out of Mika's face.
"It's my turn now."Michelangelo said.
A Foot Ninja kicked 10-year old Michelangelo's side. Perhaps, he should have listened to Master Splinter all along. He was electrocuted with a stun gun and Shredder used his claws for Michelangelo's blood to drip out.
"Leave Mikey alone!"Raphael exclaimed, running to Michelangelo along with Leonardo and Donatello.
While the fight was on, Michelangelo found a chain and aimed it at the Shredder.
"Booyakasha!"Michelangelo exclaimed, getting Shredder's foot with the chain and letting the chain fall off with Shredder.
"I'll get you, turtles!"Shredder exclaimed, the Foot retreating.
"Mikey, don't leave us like that, okay?"Donatello asked.
Michelangelo nodded.
Soon, his brothers enveloped the small turtle into a warm, comforting hug.
After that, they slept while the cicadas chirped.
The blood which has come running out is a memory bound from the past.
What I have realized is the number of sinners who treated me like this.
What lies there is a convulsive future.
